Brian Daccord, who spent this season as the special assistant to Arizona Coyotes General Manager Bill Armstrong, has resigned from his position, the team confirmed on Saturday.
Daccord was hired in September, the first person Armstrong brought on to his hockey operations staff. He also served as the director of goaltending operations as the Coyotes revamped that area of the club.
Reached via text on Saturday, Daccord cited a desire to focus on his family and his goaltending development company, Stop It, LLC, which trains goalie prospects. He said he was proud to have worked for the Coyotes and appreciative of the opportunity to work for Armstrong, calling his eight months a "tremendous experience.
